Okay, I got the following e-mail from Heather:

Hi!

I am looking for the perfect interview shoe! I am a applying to my first (…) jobs in (…), so I need something that can stand up to an all day interview and pounding the pavement to go to dinners and such. I have a black pant suit and a dark gray skirt suit that these shoes would be paired with. I love vintage looks, Victorian to 50’s. The shoes must be black, comfortable, under two inch heel, and (where I part ways with most fashionistas) no pointy shoes! Can you help me?

Thank you!

This was a pretty tall order to fill. First, it is very difficult to find professional looking shoes in a low heel, and even more difficult to find them with a nonpointed low heel. But I have found a small variety of styles, which I think will be interview appropriate (and even a few nice looking retro styles).

These Lifestride Superbs have a classic style, with a squared off toe. These shoes are made of a smooth faux leather upper and have a sturdy, short heel.

I love these classic Mary Jane style Korryy Shoes by SM New York. With a satin upper, very low heel and padded footbed for comfort, these shoes will keep you in career style for hours.

These next shoes are my absolute favorite. These Kami shoes by RSVP are made of faux leather and are so retro. I love the short heel and rounded toe. These shoes are definitely made for long days on your feet.

For an appropriate interview shoe in a flat, this Nine West Assilla is a great shoe. Make sure to order the satin upper (as seen here). These shoes have great detailing and a ballet toe, making them so stylish.

Okay, I know these heels are a bit higher then requested. But I loved the retro style so much that I couldn’t help but post them. These rounded toe, retro Kilgore shoes by MUDD are so hot. With faux leather upper and synthetic soul, these shoes are vegan heaven. I love the little bow.

I love these Surprise shoes by Lifestride. With a smooth faux leather upper and tapered toe, these shoes are so professional looking.

These final Jacqueline shoes by Lifestride are very sleek with the microfiber upper with faux patent leather trim. Perfect for the job interview, or an evening out, you can wear these shoes with almost anything.

I hope this is helpful. Let me know what you decided on. Good luck with getting your job and keep me posted on the interviews.
